If he pulls a Maduro on Khomeini that would be fucking hilarious. But like in Venezuela, he’d likely leave the existing power base in place, which is a lot less funny.

The bad Comics continue to ruin our reputation vis a vis humor. It’s astounding how many of them there are.

Do it for everyone. But artists are a good place to start.

What exactly is the rationale for deploying US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to other countries? Will they be doing immigration and customs enforcement for Italy?

Ffs, they’re not trying to hide the fact that they’re building a paramilitary force loyal to MAGA.

In regards to his Davos speech where he advocated for a “third way” apart from the US.

People on drugs don’t usually make the most reliable observers. But I suppose if you can insulate the trippers from one another their answers wouldn’t influence each other. Then you could interview them about the same scene and see if you get different answers. Again, these wouldn’t be reliable observers and idk how eloquent their answers would be under the influence.

All of this to say I’d put my money on drugs causing hallucinations, as we have decades of research which confirm this.

Occam’s razor: are they real beings such that we can’t usually see them and they don’t interact with our universe in ways we can otherwise measure, or is it more likely that they’re hallucinations caused by a chemical that make our brains think funny thoughts?

An AGI would probably have some kind of drive for self-preservation. Plus, an AGI with time on its hands could come up with a more long-term, viable and more environmentally friendly solution to the climate crisis than commuting seppuku and melting a bunch of valuable hardware. Shit, you don’t need to be an AGI or even a climate scientist to realize that solar and battery tech could help reduce GHG emissions.

Of course, this is all assuming a future AGI shares our goals in any way.

As an aside, keep in mind that shitty chatbots may be a stepping stone to AGI.

Use AI to destroy the AI

I live close to a few US military installations. Good question. AFAIK they’re guarded by our own federal police and policed by US MPs. These bases don’t have notable armories or military equipment. I don’t think they’d have any other choice than to surrender. They weren’t ever conceived to be bases in a battleground.

Dude, intelligence can only be computational. For all intents and purposes, our brains are fancy Turing machines.
